TROPICAL FRUIT SALSA

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Salsa is one of America’s most popular chip dips, but it could easily be so much more. We’ve created this version that pairs the usual tomato, chilies and onions with tropical fruit for a touch of sweetness and tang. This combination featuring mango, pineapple and papaya is great not just as a dip but also as a topping for grilled chicken, seafood and even pork.

About 3 cups (720 ml)
